'Mr McGee lives under an apple tree. This classic Pamela Allen tale has an unusual setting, a quirky problem and a funny twist. What would it be like to live under a tree? It’s wonderful to have an elephant to lower you to the ground when you get stuck up high, but what do you do with a greedy elephant that is stripping your tree? While rhyme and onomatopoeia add to the delicious rhythm, McGee and the Elephants is just plain fun.' (Publisher's blurb)
